One of my biggest complaints about the shop & parts manuals for our cars is they do not provide sufficient detail for understanding the theory and operation of Lucas equipment and circuitry. Imagine, then, that I have been able to come into ownership of a 1955 edition of something called:
"Lucas Overseas Technical Correspondence Course"
This course is over 200 pages long and is complete with diagrams, pictures and plain English procedures.
Rather than hoarding it and never sharing it, I have decided to make the whole course available to all of you. This course is VERY helpful, it has excellent step by step procedures for diagnosing faults with everything from horns, control heads, wipers, starters to OD circuitry and equipment. Having looked at it, all of the sections are very useful, and the OD electrics section is particularly useful to help owners understand what all the various relays and switches do. The distributor, horns, wiper, lighting and wiring sections are also exceptionally useful as well.
This will be very helpful for those of you who own 50's and pre-50's cars equipped with Lucas smokelectrics.
Jokes aside the whole set has been listed on John Sim's website for your use. It requires Adobe Reader 8.0 or later to view properly.

Apologies in advance for Section 9, it had some major water damage and I had to do my own mini-version of a Dead Sea scroll restoration to put it together for you.
Thank you John for hosting this.
